get into normal days of school as possible, i think that will be a part of the healing process. >> reporter: grief is evident not just in newtown o. wall street a shorter bell. >> may their memories become less painful. >> reporter: and the u.s. senate paying tribute with silence this afternoon. a nation in pain with some turning to action. this march in washington calling for stricter gun control measures. president obama said sunday at a memorial service that he planned to take executive action. >> are we prepared to say such violence visited on our children year after year after year to sell out the price of our freedom? >> reporter: hoping to provide comfort, owners of therapy dogs are wandering around town with animals and they're being approached by children and adults a like. jennifer davis, fox news. schools across the country and here in our area had counselors and extra police perhaps as students return to

class today. they hoping the added security might ease the anxiety by students and parents. >> reporter: first graders at district heights lamar start the morning discussing a story like any other day. then, something different. >> at this time, we're going have a moment of silence. >> reporter: silence to remember school kids just like themselves who never made it out of sandy hook elementary on december 14th. it's a tough day for parents and staff. >> a moment of silence is our way of honoring the people that have lost their lives. this is a horrible event. this is our way of joining our nation and grieving for their loss. >> reporter: what happened in connecticut is something every school hopes not to confront and has to prepare for. >> in prince georges county and

across the nation, you saw a paradigm shift in the way we handle active threat mitigations after columbine. our goal was to come and stabilize the situation. now, we understand that our roll error very to go in and mitigate that threat. >> reporter: prince georges county officers like most other police forces get additional training to deal with such a scenario. the school staff does, too. >> and they trained in active shooters and lockdown drills, other types of emergency situations that may a rise. the best thing is to have an honest, again, age-appropriate dialogue with your young person. and whether that is a six-year- old. you can't be as graphic or direct, but to remind them that administrators and teachers are there for their safety and if something happens, to follow the directions of the teacher and that we're concerned about your safety. >> reporter: schools are putting in extra patrols to let the community know they will do

what they can to keep children safe. >> part of the moment of silence is to think about how to continue to care for each other. >> reporter: melanie alnwick, fox 5 news. a major of americans can see the shooting at sandy hook elementary as a-type sign of broader -- a sign of broader problems in society rather than an isolated incident, according to a new poll. a big change from what americans said about the movie massacre. only 24% thought it was a problem with societal problems. most don't think there should be a ban on handguns in general. 71% of people over the weekend asked oppose the idea. >> despite the numbers, antigun activists are stepping up campaign for tougher gun las. >> and they were here in the

nation's capitol today. >> reporter: here's more. >> reporter: it's a thorny issue. and after the president declared about his desire to do something about guns, the anti- factions took their protests to the streets. >> reporter: this was a noontime march on the capital offices of the national rifle association. hundreds taking part. >> obviously, it was just amazing horror of 20 little children. that was my motivation. this is my first time to an anti-gun rally. it won't be my last. >> we're here to urge nr aloneyists to stand down and allow coming congress to pass gun laws that will reduce tragic deaths and shootings. >> reporter: the demonstrators confronted by one man with an opposing view. >> the principal in the school treed to defend the children and was killed for it. if the children tried to defend

the children with a gun, perhaps,you know, he -- they could have saved many lives. >> reporter: rally organizers encouraged by president obama's remarks in newtown sunday night. >> are we really prepared to say that we're powerless? in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard? are we prepared to say such violence visited on our children year after year after year for the prime price of our freedom? >> reporter: white house officials acknowledging today changing the nation's gun laws is complicated business. >> i don't have a specific policy outline for you today from the president and i think it's important to remember this is about our gun laws and enforcing them, but it's about a broad erasers of issues. >> reporter: outside of the white house, another midday demonstration smaller and much quieter since the movie

massacre theatre in aurora, colorado, this summer. >> we have talked to people from all over the world and the country, and this is an amazing experience. we feel we're changing people's minds one person at a time. >> it said ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. there is absolutely no reason on this earth for those things to be available for sport. >> reporter: we have been asking the nra for comment for two days now for somebody to address the calls for new gun laws. so far, the organization has not responded, laura. >> bob barnard, thank you. a friend of the suspected gunman's mother, nancy lanza, said the public doesn't understand how hard she tried to help her son adam. rich collins said she was troubled by his strangely distant behavior. she was a gun collector and thought she could help him by teaching him how to shoot. >> she was trying to find ways to bond with him, and, you know, she told me that the gun,

she would take them shooting because that is the way a single mom could, you know, relate to her son and so she would take him out shooting. >> he used to meet her at a local pub and talk about their common problems. nancy lanza's divorce papers were released and show she had the authority regarding all of the decisions in her son's upbringing. they divorced in 2009 after 28 years of marriage. last year, she received $265,000 in alimoney. in the wake of the connected school shooting, author pete erley wrote a blog writing the national debate about the elementary school must include a strong call for improving our mental healthcare system, the author of crazy joins us tomorrow. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> i think we should say we don't know what mental illness adam lanza may have had, but we know about many other people charged in similar mass shootings from the virginia

tech shootings to jared laughner and the list goes on. after tragedies like this, we hear about gun control reform. explain you why think we need to focus on improving the mental healthcare system? >> unless you improve the mental healthcare system in this country, you will have more incidents like. this it's important to note that persons with mental illness are no more dangerous than anyone else. it's a very small group in this category that are causing the problems we have to address our mental health concerns. you know something is wrong when you can get an assault weapon in this country. >> absolutely. i know you have a personal story and go over the time now, crazy, a father's search through america's mental health madness. explain your personal touch and how this impacted you? >> i tried to get my son in his early 20s and i tried to get

him help. i couldn't and was told i had to wait until he was a danger to me and others and that is ridiculous. think about it this way. i live in fairfax, one of the wealthiest counties, i'm well- educated, hi connections at "the washington post." i had researched mental health and i thought i knew about it. my son ended up getting tazered by the police, hog-tied and taken away. i couldn't get my son help, how do you think someone who knows nothing about the system and lives in poverty, how do you think someone like that is going get help with the system? >> absolutely and let's be clear, your son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, is that correct? >> he was diagnosed with bipolar and schizophrenia. these are sophisticated illnesses and require great care and time and professionalism to figure out what is going on and in virginiava, they meet the vitiria and they being told there is no room because we

don't have service services. >> and so many times after incidents like this, we start the conversation and seems to sit there until the next big incident. >> that's right. >> and what do we need to do to put this book into action and motion? >> we need to make it a priority. virginia tech happened, they said wow, we passed $42 million in new funds and next year, they'll cut 50 million. people with mental illnesses are a low priority. we need to change that and get them help. what is missing is once you get that kind of help, you can recover. today, he's doing great. >> and that is important to bring up and any advice for parents out there who might be struggling with mental issues? >> don't give up. be an advocate and try to be a friend, i know that sounds strange, but try to help your person understand that they need help and then try to get them that help. fight the system and make people listen to you. >> be an advocate.

author, parent, father, concerned citizens, thank you very much for coming in. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up later at 5:30 tonight, making sense of the tragedy in newtown. dr. oz and a panel of experts will join us live with help for parents struggling to explain this event to their children. >> and coming up, parents concerned after a body is found near a local elementary school. >> and find out why d.c.'s mayor opposes a plan to reimburse flood victims in the district. scott. >> and the redskins are at first place in the nfc east after the big win in cleveland on sunday. a great performance and especially curt cousins. was it enough to earn them another start next week? philadelphia? that and the latest on rg3 straight ahead at 5. gary. >> thank you, scott. well, it looked like all day long it's going rain. is it going -- going to rain? we'll have a complete look at the forecast in just a bit. stay with us. we'll be back. 

. a mystery in northeast d.c. after a man in his 50s was found shot to death in fort lincoln park up the hill about 100-yards from thur god marshal elementary school. the police say a woman walking her dog discovered her body after 11:00 this morning. paul wagner joins us live from northeast with the story. paul. >> reporter: laura, many people living out here in fort lincoln view this neighborhood, this area as being very, very safe. in fact, d.c. police chief cathy lanier lives a few blocks

from here. just down the street they opened a new costco and so the fact that a man was found shot to death in fort lincoln park just 100 yards from here, troubling news, indeed. on a day when school security was on the minds of so many, anyone curious enough would have been able to glance out of the windows of marshal elementary and see crime scene tape and police detectives working on the hillside. an area of fort lincoln park backing up to the school. the body was discovered in what appeared to be an area on what people could relax on park benches. >> it's a quiet, calm, safe community and this is pretty unusual. police say the motive is unclear. there are no -- there were no reports of gun fire in the hours leading up to the time the body was discovered. still, parents found the scene disturbing. >> i heard it on the radio. the shooting near this area and i knew it was by my kids

school. >> and you came to make sure? >> yes. memorandum, going and request ask the principal, he doesn't know. >> reporter: some people found it troubling and others would go into the park during daylight hours. >> that is like that. and we went through this just yesterday, a couple of days ago. >> what is going on with them? >> wow. >> and. >> yeah. >> like i am with my dog. it's big but i am afraid to come. >> reporter: we did receive a copy of the letter support home with the students to give to their pair objects. it basically said that they were she woulded -- shielded from looking out of the window and they were kept inside and there were no outdoor activities and they assured the parents they did not, their children did not so that crime

scene and that they were safe. laura. >> and paul wagner, thank you. d.c. mayor vince gray opposes plans to running back flood victims in the district. he said the plan proposed by d.c.'s council could set a president to make taxpayers liable for millions in future damage claims and the fine will be paid for through an assessment on the residents' water bills. >> we saw on the background all of the fog out there tonight. >> yes, indeed and this is the fog. the visibility is reduced. some visibilities lower than a

quarter of a mile and i believe they have had issues with bwi marshal and any time that is below a quarter of a mile, that is an issue for just about everybody. let me show you temperatures quickly and it's been, believe it or not, and about 52 degrees in town today. even with the clouds and the fog, cooler for gaithersburg, 48; baltimore, the mid-40s and all day long and they have been foggy out there and to fredericksburg, the temperature is 52 and i wanted to show you the sentinel radar. even though, first of all, we go to that fog advise or. for anne arundel county and howard county, baltimore county, hartford county, points north and east, that is where the visibility has been reduced. even all day long. it will probably stay that way all, all night long. and this runs through the evening hours and over.

>> do not believe it's going to be extended to the south- southwest and we'll keep an eye on that and just keep in mind into the northeast, the visibility is going to drop significantly and this is sent until radar, even though it looks like it's wanting to rain all day long. we have very little rain. if you go to the west- southwest, you get to see where the rain is. the showers are pulling through west virginia right now and a little farther to the west out here. coming through kentucky and central tennessee. that is a line of thunderstorms that are severe and they will weaken before getting here. even though we get the showers, don't think anything is in the form of thunderstorms here and some showers around and we'll have this fog threat greater to the north and east.

it gets better, though. i don't see cold air or snow coming your way. we'll have the forecastspo on to the weekend. >> okay. >> and christmas eve, too. >> and looking forward to that one. >> yeah. >> thanks, gary. coming up tonight, the d.c. councilwoman's plan to crack down on campaign fraud in the district. >> and if you have a story idea, call us at 292-895-3000.

there is no time to waste when it comes to campaign finance reform, according to mary chay. she's trying to push through emergency legislation to help prevent campaign fraud. but the council chairman is not fully on board. fox 5s matt ackland explains. >> reporter: after a year of campaign investigations, which included questions about big money orders, it surprised many when the head of the d.c. council said campaign finance reform was dead for 2012. some found it upsetting. >> first of all, i was deeply

disappointed that we didn't move campaign finance in general. >> reporter: council member mary chay is not taking no for an answer. tuesday, she will introduce an emergency bill that limits money orders which, are very hard to trace to $25 or less. same as cash. >> and that is not as if it's speculation. we have seen thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars being in affect laundered through money orders. we have to stop it. >> reporter: earlier this year, federal investigators started looking at money orders given to many local campaigning by the fund raiser jeffrey thompson. council member vincent orange showed us this list of money orders given to his campaign and called them suspicious. take a look. thousands donated through money orders, taken out one after the other. >> my own vow is that i think that restriction on money orders at $25 is unreasonable. >> reporter: chair men mendelson threw cold water on the emergency reform issue,

defending those who want to use money orders and questioning if chay's bill will, in fact, stop fraud. >> the fact is that the abuses that occurred in 2010 that we know about are abuses, those that we know about, that were illegal. passing the law is not going to change that. they're already illegal. >> reporter: the mayor is on board with chay's money order limit. remember, he proposed has own plan as well. mendelson indicated that campaign reform is needed and didn't want to rush it. chay told me she was willing to go up to $50 on the money order if that would get it past through the council tomorrow. mendelson said he liked $100 a little better. remember, campaigning for the special election is starting right away. it's going to on right now and if this is passed tomorrow, these rules will go into affect right away, shawn. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. during the district's council meeting today, council

chairman mendelson addressed the gun control issue in light of the deadly shooting. he said the council has a role in gun control but said until they know more facts about the connecticut shooting, it's hard to make comparisons between the gun laws. >> over and over with the kinds of shooting, they typically involve people with mental illness. whether that is the fact in connecticut, i don't know for sure. we have flied to address that in our law and we prohibit a person who has a mental illness to possess a firearm lawfully in the district of columbia. >> and he said the challenge is to let those continue to follow the laws while allowing them to continue to use guns. coming up, dr. oz joins us with advice from parents trying to explain the tragedy to the children. 

. following friday's horrific tragedy in connecticut, we're coming to grips with the grief and feelings of sorrow for the families in newtown as, at the same time, we're also dealing with concern for our own families. so the question many of us had in the newsroom today, how do we prepare for discussions with our children tonight about what happened? perhaps when they went to school today. not knowing about the incident and maybe had a moment of silence in school that starts questions and also, how do you talk to a fave is or -- five- year-old versus a nine-year- old. we're joined by a panel of experts, a bethesda parent, a

psychiatrist, and herman [ indiscernible ] , the yorktown pta president. and from new york is dr. oz. dr. oz, thank you for being with us. i want to start with you tonight. is this a discussion we should be having with our children tonight around the dinner table or is it something that we should be limiting? this talk of tragedy with our children. >> it's a difficult conversation, but i think parents should control the information flow. i would rather my kids hear about it from me and my wife than through the web or tv, whatever. they'll hear about it from other kids in school. i would encourage pair tonights have the conversation. your point is an excellent one. we talk about this with a five- year-old and nine-year-old, this is a senseless act. you have to give them confidence and make them feel safe, ultimately the most important thing we give our children, the safety to be able to prosper in life. >> herman, you have three

children. i know your youngest is 11. you talked with your kids about this after the shooting. what did you say to them and why do did you choose to talk to your children about it? >> well, i reassured them this was a very distinct incident and that this normally does not happen and that they should not be worried. the schools are safe to go to on aing with regular basis. >> uh-huh. >> and cathy, your boys are 7 and 9. >> yes. >> you also spoke with your boys about this. >> i felt compelled to speak to them because my husband and i were so upset and sad, i didn't think i could hide that from them. i thought i had to let them know what was happening and why we were feeling so affected this weekend. i did speak about it differently with my 9-year-old and with my seven-year-old. and what is interesting when i talked to my 7-year-old about what happened, he referred to

the lock don drills they do in school. he said did they lock the doors and turn off the lights and pull the blinds down and hide behind book shells of, which is how the drills are done. i thought it was interesting that he could relate to how the kids in connecticut were having to hide and protect themselves and it helped us explain that hundreds and hundreds of kids did survive because the teachers protected them and the principal protected them. it was tragic that many kids did die, hundreds of kids survived. >> right. >> and you talked about the safety aspect of that. >> we did. >> yeah. >> and my kids are 2, 5, and 7 and i spoke about this with you on the phone. my kids don't been this. i shielded them over the weekend from many news coverage. we hid the newspaper and i read in the "washington post" quotes from experts saying don't be afraid not to have the conversation. >> huh. >> don't overshare. cindy crane, i want to ask you about this. what is age appropriate for

tell something what kids should not know about this? >> well, you know, i think under seven, kids should be shield. that said, older kids may share with them what is going on. >> what do you say in. >> you need to listen where they are and the questions they're asking. what you say is we're safe and we're upset. this is a sad event that happened to our country. we're safe and the bad guy was caught and you're going to be fine and we love you. >> a local principal noticed kids -- parents dropping off their childrennality school and turning around and sobbing as they left how do adults deal with something so horrible and graphic in their case and try to keep that emotion from spilling over into their

children? >> and that is a chaotic process. in newtown, they said nothing happened this year but it's happening in all of our lives. thageer, fear, frustration and sadness, that this is like away coming over us is normal. the most valuable thing we can take away as adults is we can't overcome this but but get through it. you will find ways, different tactics, obviously, and at the end of the day, it's the hugs and love that you give to the people around you. that grateful way to allow humanity to survive in times of adversity. >> i think it needs to come from home, too and that is something, we get got an e-mail from the principal saying she was going to make an announcement. it was not anything we were prepared to deal with. -- prepared to deal with. there were moments of silence at some schools announcing that parents were not prepared to

deal w. how did your schools am this? >> i spoke to the prince 358 and he said there was a moment of silence and they discussed it briefly and reassured the kids they are in a safe place they talked about my son's class, the t.a., the class before the beginning of the school and discussed it amongst themselves. >> they bringing in counselors? >> yes. >> at what point do you bring in professional help? >> if you see your child behaving in ways that you don't expect, not eating or sleeping and for any age kid, acting out more, being more anxious in general, maybe it's time to talk to a therapist and when you see the things not resolving. >> turn off the screens. i really, i think the exposure

to 24/7 images is traumatizing and it's important for our kids and ourselves. >> yes, definitely. amen to that. >> cindy crane, cathy, herman and dr. oz, thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. it's an important discussion and we'll live with this for a while and weed need to continue to communicate about this. appreciate it. and back to you. funerals for two of the children were held. and it still hurts my heart as a parent to watch this from afar. i can't imagine what it's like for them there in newtown tonight. >> you know, the grief is palpable as you walk down the streets and this is a town that had one to two funerals a month and they looking at that and they started as two of the littlest victims, noah who just turned six years old and leaves

behind a twin sister. another little boy named jack, six years old and say he was the biggest new york giants fan you could ever see and this is painful for awful of us who knew the children and those who didn't. as i step away here, you can see the street leads you to sandy hook elementary. y that moving furn tour and desks from there people were there volunteering their time all day and as we go here, you can see how many people are there at the memorial and it seems like they need to come here and to leave notes and flowers. i can tell you one nice thing was a number of handlers and therapy dogs started walking

anticipated receiving and it's starting to get real. the redskins control their own destiny and that is thanks to a -- in cleveland. he started and played well. the first start. it got off a little rocky, completing just one of his first six passes and the performance changed this play. a triple coverage, a 54-yard touchdown and cousins with another short td to finish with 329 yards passing. the second most by any redskins rookie. the coach was asking if he might go with cousins again over rg3 sunday at philadelphia. >> when the doctors feel there is no chance for injury and
